I’m sensing a theme in the gaps between blog posts here! We had another baby! This beautiful boy made us a family of 4 on October 28th, 2019. The last 4 months have flown by, Cooper is the sweetest baby and has made having 2 boys (somewhat) easy. While the journey hasn’t been easy since…

We’ve been traveling with our baby for over 2 months now. At the start we had a few weeks of being in just one house, but recently we’ve been going from state to state, house to house, bed to bed. Oli is napping in cars, shopping carts and his push chair (stroller). His bedtime has…

I have neglected this corner of our world for way too long. A lot of LIFE has happened in between blog posts, mainly: we had a baby! Oliver came into the world around 7:30pm, January 19th 2018. He’s been our biggest joy and adventure. Our best story. He’s now a mobile & opinionated 9 month…

I am currently in Starbucks, literally rubbing my eyes because I’m really really tired this afternoon. Thank goodness for caffeine amiright?

Managing our crew of local workers, fixing vehicles, putting up and taking down tents, making beds and ensuring food is…

One of my 2017 goals is to be more creative, and find something artistic that I have a passion for.  The past few years I’ve been playing around with taking photos and have realized that I seriously enjoy it. Although, I still don’t understand how I can point a machine at something, press a button…

“Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him.  As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains,  like the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:3 The heat feels oppressive. Like a heavy weight pushing (you) down into the dry and cracked ground. You feel…

When I married Joe I had no idea what that meant for my social life..my introverted self had visions of cosy mornings with just us and a cup of coffee, maybe our cat. Every Saturday would be a date day and I would be the object of his undivided attention (believe me; now I know…
